[QUOTE="Affinity, post: 180717, member: 1246"] From what I understand the fluorapatite particles in enamel will scatter light (fluoresce) more when remineralized like with fluoride.. just wondered if it was common knowledge or just common words.. Tooth enamel and fluoride "The presence of fluoride either in drinking water or in toothpastes has greatly reduced the incidence of tooth decay in the population. Fluoride speeds up the movement of calcium and phosphate into the tooth surface. This remineralises the crystalline structures in a dental cavity. The remineralised tooth surfaces contain fluoridated hydroxyapatite andfluorapatite, which resist acid attack much better than the original tooth did." [/QUOTE]
